Coconut rice is a mildly spiced rice recipe, which can be easily made. In this method of coconut rice, the rice is cooked separately and mixed with the tempering of spices and coconut. Serve the coconut rice as is or with a plain curry like aloo kurma.

Coconut rice is made as neivedyam, for festivals and celebrations. It can also be made breakfast, lunch box or for travel. It’s a mess free recipe, which makes it easy to carry.

Another popular way of making coconut rice is by using coconut milk. It is similar to pulao with all the aromatic Indian spices.

Coconut rice is mostly made with white rice like basmati rice or sona masoori rice. Today I have used brown rice to make the recipe.Brown rice is packed with nutritional benefits and works well in the recipe.

I have also added cooked chana dal, which gives some protein and  bite to the recipe. Cook the chana dal in water or pressure cooker with some salt. cook until just done. Make sure its not mushy, it should be soft but not mushy.
